Heiner Goebbels

Heiner Goebbels launches this year’s Ultima Festival

Goebbels’s staging of Harry Partch’s Delusion of the Fury was a huge success at Ultima 2013. The acclaimed German composer and stage director will now return to the Nationaltheatret for the opening of Ultima 2017.

The art of Heiner Goebbels is not quite opera and not quite theatre, but occupies a unique position between the two. With a background straddling avant garde composition and progressive/radical rock in the 1970s, Goebbels is now a prolific composer and stage director of multimedia works that have been performed all over the world. His staging of Harry Partch’s Delusion of the Fury was one of Ultima’s all-time triumphs when it was performed at Oslo’s Nationaltheater in 2013. In 2012 the German composer and director received the prestigious international Ibsen Award.
